After hearing the petition Supreme Court angered on the Bollywood and said there was no reason a qualified female make-up artists should be banned from film sets .The Supreme Court by referring the discrimination on woman makeup artist termed it as "unconstitutional, illegal and the worst kind of gender discrimination".
‘’You better delete this clause on your own. Remove this immediately .We don't see a reason to prohibit a woman from becoming a make-up artist if she is qualified.Why cannot a female put make up on a male actor? We are living in 2014 and not 1850 or 1935’’the bench said
The group of women filed the petition after they were refused admission by associations of make-up artists in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.Only a member of these associations is allowed to work as a make-up artist in the production unit in the cine industry.
